ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods consistent with the present invention provide for remote tracking of the reboot status for a plurality of user terminals. Each user terminal runs a start-up routine capable of creating a record of information about the terminal, including reboot status. The record of information is stored in log file on a file server, along with the records of information from other user terminals. A collection routine executed by a central server collects the log files from the file servers and stores the records in a database. Based on the records stored in the database, various status reports may be generated that reflect, among other things, a reboot status associated with the user terminals over a predetermined period of time.
